Finchley Spring Gray Table Lamp

Yes, the ceramic construction of the base is an excellent choice for coastal or high-humidity environments. Unlike some metal finishes that may corrode or rust over time when exposed to salt air or moisture, the protective gray glaze on this ceramic base is non-porous and highly resistant to environmental wear, ensuring the lamp maintains its transitional style for years to come.

The soft gray glaze is a highly versatile neutral that complements a wide range of palettes. Based on our interior design expertise, gray finishes pair exceptionally well with white or beige furniture for a clean, contemporary look. It also serves as a sophisticated, soft contrast when placed alongside dark wood tones or navy blue accents, helping to bridge the gap between different decor elements in a transitional space.

Yes, some assembly is required for this model. Typically, this involves attaching the harp, securing the fabric shade with a finial, and installing a lightbulb. Following these simple steps ensures the components are properly aligned and the shade sits level for a polished, professional look in your home.

The white fabric drum shade is designed to provide soft, diffused ambient lighting. Because the drum shape allows light to escape evenly from both the top and the bottom while filtering it through the sides, it is ideal for creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere in a living room or bedroom. This makes it a perfect choice for general room illumination or as a soft light source for evening relaxation.

A general rule of thumb for balanced proportions is to choose a lamp that is roughly 1.5 times the height of the surface it sits on. At 28 inches tall, this lamp pairs beautifully with tables approximately 18 to 22 inches in height. For bedside use, this height ensures the bottom of the drum shade is typically level with your chin when seated or lying down, providing ample light for reading while preventing glare from the bulb.

To maintain the finish, we recommend dusting the ribbed ceramic base regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, our care guidelines suggest using a cloth lightly dampened with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could dull the glaze. For the white fabric drum shade, a lint roller or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment is ideal for removing dust, while small spots can be gently blotted with a mild detergent and cool water.
